Paul played for Scotland youths but in six years with United, he made just a dozen first team appearances, although he played regularly in the Under-21/reserve side. He also had spells on loan at Stenhousemuir and Forfar Athletic. Released in January 2005, he joined Bristol City for trials before signing for Torquay United in the latter stages of that season.

United went into the last game of the season hoping to keep their unbeaten run since the league split going to the last day. Their record against Kilmarnock was terrible. Killie looked forward to their first match against United under the guidance of Jim Jeffries. For the final game of the season, Alex Smith made three changes to his starting line up for a variety of reasons. Jim Lauchlan was facing his former team, while Derek Lilley missed out after an operation.

United’s poor run of results continued with a single goal defeat to an in-form Motherwell side. Jim Paterson’s 16th minute shot proved to be the difference between the sides on an afternoon when the home side should have at least had a share of the spoils.
